Here we have a 22 metres tall soldier statue making stop sign like that. From distance you can't tell how large it is so he doesn't look intimidating much. But as you keep getting closer he becomes larger and larger and you begin seeing details like the rifle in his other hand and serious look while warning you to stop. So it becomes quite intimidating, it was constructed at where the Greek army was stopped in 1921 who were trying to capture Ankara. That's why he makes stop sign as no enemy ever stepped foot after that point.
@@Seathal I always find it amusing you people with enormous list of crimes are trying to lecture us! If i still take it seriously there were indeed Armenians in Greek army. They were transferred from eastern Anatolia to western Anatolia by French ships in 1919 and they continued operating as a militia force, burning down villages and infrastructure. Naturally we defeated them too and kicked them out of our country but around half of Greek army remained as prisoners for several years while they constructed back the damage they caused..
I wouldn't say that Eldacar was the catalyst, that was just the excuse Castamir used, he and his were greedy for power that was the real reason, nothing more nothing less. Some of his supporters may have cared about the blood issue, but nowhere near all of them, and those that did it was in a 'he's lesser' because of it manner, not because of the belief the lifespan would shorten. Cos if it was truly about the risk of a shortened lifespan, they'd have waited to see if they lifespan actually shortened (which it didn't). Btw, you said 1800 years, but the subtitles say 2000, and there's a line in the subtitles that you didn't actually speak aloud.
I've always thought this was the reason. It seemed quite reasonable to me! TBF, it's been ages since I read FOTR, and I barely remember anything from the text directly.
I think the dwarves had to be involved in the construction of the Argonath, and that the elves must also have had something to do with the magic that still gives them a sense of power.
Still waiting on your follow up videos to "Why didn't Sauron Ally with or recruit the Balrog"; Namely could Sauron have allied with Smaug? and what the implication for Middle Earth would have been had Sauron, Smaug, and the Balrog joined forces.
It would be against Sauron’s nature to bargain with anything that is already serving his ends for their own reasons, he would just tip the balance of how it all lands.
The Balrog was, like Gandalf and Sauron himself originally Maiar. Sauron joined Morgoth and became his lieutenant while the Balrogs became living weapons clothed in fire and shadow. What's really odd to consider is that it is entirely probable that Gandalf knew the Balrog from their days as Maiar. Might have even been friends at one time.
The question is, why do the statues bear axes instead of swords? Maybe an axe would mean something different to an Easterling, but that detail keeps being a mystery to me
I love Lord of the rings, I have my entire life. I love watching and listening to these videos, I just don’t get how it is that almost every single one screws up the pronunciation of the names. I think they’re doing it on purpose.
Good to hear some of the stories besides the curse of the adventure, some backround. BUT it makes me wonder . where does all this information come, when ( so i asume ) the author has no part in creating the setting ??
Not sure I get your meaning. Tolkien is the ultimate source for the information in his world, and he had so much extra information that his son and literary executor Christopher was able to put out another dozen or so books after his father died.
@@marieroberts5664 ah thats the answer, a lot of some more unknown material from the author himself ! i personaly clinched more to the basic one : LORD, the Hobbit, the Silmarils and i´m not sure to read the full versions or some cutback stuff ! thanks for the answer !
@@steffanreichenbach3124 the stuff is good, and I especially recommend Unfinished Tales, next to The Silmarillion , it's been out the longest, one of the first compilation of stuff that didn't get into the Silm but was very much on Tolkien's mind, and containing a really great story, "The Mariner's Wife", about a very pivotal era of Numenorean history. I won't say more, but it's a very good story, almost complete (if I recall correctly, it was nearly finished but it didn't fit into Silm, since the Akkalabeth was intended as part of that book, while this was older history of Numenor that didn't fit into the Downfall). Most of the rest are more for loremasters, like the History of Middle Earth series, or the most recent two books, the People of M-E and the Nature of M-E, but the two longest stories, Beren & Luthien and Children of Hurin have been reworked from the versions in the Silm, with variations and additions, so you can see from older drafts to close to final product. I'd go to the library to read some of these first, then decide if you need a copy for yourself. Enjoy!
I am not sure the left hands held out means what he says, that it is warning or a stop and go back either. If the statues of the Kings were based on the Elvish hand gestures, it would be just the opposite I think - there is some information in one of the HOME books, it may Vol. X - when elves held out an arm palms out that meant it was okay to approach, if they did not wish to socialize they would do nothing at all. I hope that's right, been awhile since I read it.
@@middleearthtales Haha, who says so? Gemini is one of the funniest zodiac signs. Also Gemini is very dexterous. Can use his hands. He can build things. He can draw. He knows music. He is often good at music. Also good at sports if he wants. No, I was actually asking because I was doing my research. This study may be wrong. In general, until recently I did not have a search specifically for the zodiac. And many people hate this topic. I have no knowledge of it so I am not an expert. But according to my research, a large number of Tolkien fans are earth and water signs. Of course, we're not talking about math here. We are talking about relative things here. So, it always have exceptions here. But you may also have a Earth or water excedent. Or maybe not.Who knows. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I know, that was a weird question. Lol. 😁
@@stanimirgeorgiev.87 this topic is very interesting to me. i don't know much about zodiac signs to be honest. what is special about earth and water? why tolkien fans are mostly in this sign?
@@middleearthtales Eh, well that's idiotic for me to say, because it sounds really weird, plus there's a certain relativity, after all, we're humans, not machines, and we always have, more or less, mixed feelings, so as humans we never we are not overly categorical, as a calculator would be categorical, for example. But a basic explanation is that each zodiac sign has a specific level of vibration that affects each individual. This I have proven after research. People with people of the same zodiac sign or related zodiac signs get along well, while opposite zodiac signs, even though they have lived together for a long time or worked together, interpret the world in a different way, which often leads to scandals, arguments, and fights among themselves. Yes, we all see the world differently, that is unique to each individual. But vibrations, oscillations of codes that I call "zodiacs" make a person from one zodiac sign to be strongly distinguished from another zodiac sign. I repeat again, this is not just a zodiac sign. It's a combination. A specific person's personality remains a specific person's personality. Each individual is unique in himself and each individual is unique in himself. But there are certain patterns that repeat themselves and I've watched them for years and years and they're always there, so I'm not imagining these statistics that I've come up with. They are actually there. Tolkien was an earth sign and the way he sees the world often resonates mostly with personalities from his sign: Capricorn or signs from his earth family which are: Taurus, Virgo. Also close to earth which are Water: Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio. Of course Tolkien, like any other author, has many and varied fans from all over the world of all kinds of people. This is normal. But often times the biggest, craziest and most fanatical Tolkien fans were Capricorns and Virgos. Also Scorpio. You can even see, for example, directed by Peter Jackson. He says, "Oh, I have no interest in the Alien franchise." Because Jackson was invited as a possible director of Alien 4. But he flatly refused. But at the same time, Jackson is an absolute fan of Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings. Of course, this in itself proves nothing. Unless you know a lot of people from the same sign and from the earth sign who hate Alien, but are absolute Tolkien fans. Trust me, you'll rarely find an earth and water sign that loves H.P. Lovecraft or H.R. Giger's work. But like I said things are not absolute and there are always exceptions. Because an actor from the movie "Lord of the Rings", Christopher Lee, was a Gemini zodiac in the Gemini zodiac and was crazy about Tolkien's work and especially "Lord of the Rings". So this statement of mine can be relative. But not if one doesn't have my studies. You, for example, as a Gemini, try a Dune book. Also try H.R. Giger's work and Alien:1 and 2 and you see how they will affect you. Also H.P. Lovecraft works and tall me (hahahaah) how you fill about these things. Do you love them or not. Do they affect you strongly or not so much, etc.
@@middleearthtales Also, I'm not a zodiac expert. Zodiac experts use mathematics and very complex calculations. Whereas I'm more of an amateur theorist. So I'm not a zodiac savant. I'm kind of an Artist, a story teller. And just because I mentioned it, you can log into this account from which I'm writing to you now, to hear some stories that I'm currently developing. They are very average and even low level of presentation, but this is what I have for now. 😁
Can you imagine what future archeologs will think when they see Statue of Liberty at the future? "Wow, what a great achievement they made 10k years go. It is probably celebrating a goddess . Think how many slaves built it." And when someone would say that it actually celebrates the idea of freedom, USA was a very modern country and another country actually gifted it, they will call him/her crazy and laugh at him/her just like they do to anyone who doesn't agree with their official view on pyramids.
In the movie..... They were facing one another, one with the left arm up, the other with the right arm up. The artworks shown in this presentation all look like crap, like a cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Kings holding axes? It’s obvious that the dwarves made this
It was built to stop overtourism from elves of Lothlorien and Mirkwood.
I like to think Aragorn made them look new again after becoming king.
Sorry, but Isildur didn’t have a brother. He had a sister that’s super smart and well built. I’ve seen it in a TV show

Fuck that "show".
Anarion is mentioned in the show. He’s one of the “Faithful” who lives on the North side of the Island.
I live in Portland, OR. I want a Lewis & Clark riverside Willamete & Columbia River statues a la Lord of the Rings

Btw, you said 1800 years, but the subtitles say 2000, and there's a line in the subtitles that you didn't actually speak aloud.
To stop people going down the waterfall. Duh.
I've always thought this was the reason. It seemed quite reasonable to me! TBF, it's been ages since I read FOTR, and I barely remember anything from the text directly.
It was probably to inflate the GDP growth rate to attract foreign investments from Eriador and Harad.
it was about the same time as "stop in the name of love." just a tribute to an old song
10:16 I don't know if I can really blame him for that, that's just good politics
Wheh I was a kid I rponounced it "Roman-Dass-il" as it sounded cooler. I could never get my head around pronouncing 'C' as hard as Tolkien insisted
I am here for the concept art and story
One hand stretched out says, "STOP! ....Don't touch me there, this is my 'no-no' square."
While the other says, "STOP! ....HAMMER TIME!"

Doing that is like getting a stupid tattoo. It feels funny on the spot then starting next morning you regret it every day...

The earliest known statues of limitations.
I guess im lucky that i genuinely hate being social. This right here, and texting is enough for me.
Yeah. Socialisation is w-a-y over rated.
Some people ask why? Others ask why not?
I think the dwarves had to be involved in the construction of the Argonath, and that the elves must also have had something to do with the magic that still gives them a sense of power.
such awesome carvings
Still waiting on your follow up videos to "Why didn't Sauron Ally with or recruit the Balrog"; Namely could Sauron have allied with Smaug? and what the implication for Middle Earth would have been had Sauron, Smaug, and the Balrog joined forces.
Sauron wanted the Balrog to take out Gandolf which it did.
Eru intervened and sent Gandolf back.
It would be against Sauron’s nature to bargain with anything that is already serving his ends for their own reasons, he would just tip the balance of how it all lands.
I am going to argue that the chance the Balrog joins Sauron is zero. Neither is bowing to the other,
The Balrog was, like Gandalf and Sauron himself originally Maiar. Sauron joined Morgoth and became his lieutenant while the Balrogs became living weapons clothed in fire and shadow.
What's really odd to consider is that it is entirely probable that Gandalf knew the Balrog from their days as Maiar. Might have even been friends at one time.
